Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 2, 1915.

Application filed October 13, 1914. Serial No. 866,465.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARPAD F. HUsz, a citizen of the United States,residing at Camden in the county of Camden and State of New ersey, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Doors, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to swinging and sliding doors, and particularlyto that class of doors of the character set forth commonly used incabinets, the main object of the invention being to provide a door withmeans for pivotally swinging the same to an open position, andthereafter sliding said door into a recess formed within the body of thecabinet.

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction ofvmounting for the door whereby an easy action thereof is insured.

The invention consists of the features of construction, combination andarrangement of parts herein fully described and claimed, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectiontaken through a cabinet and looking toward the closed door. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section looking downward. Fig. 3 is a detail section showingthe means for pivotally and slidably mounting the upper portion of thedoor. Fig. 4 is a detail transverse section showing the means forslidably and pivotally supporting the lower, portion of the door.

1 designates a cabinet havlng a doorway 2 and provided at one side orend with a partition 3 forming a door receiving recess 1-. The door 5normally extends across the front part of the cabinet and closes thedoorway 2, but may be swun outwardlv I and then slid'rearwardly into therecess 4.

As shown, a rod 6 is rigidly mounted within agroove or recess 6 formedin thebottom of the door, by means of a cleat 7 and a yoke 8. Said rodpasses through the bore 9 of a sleeve 10 formed upon a bearing pin 11,said pin being journaled in an opening 12 at the base of the cabinet. Apin 13 is secured to the top of the door and in vertical alinement withthe pin 11 and pivotally and sli'dably engages a groove or recess 14formed in the top or upper wall of the cabinet.

It will be evident from the foregoing description of the structure thatthe door may be swung outward on the pins 11 and 13 as anaxis until itfully opens the doorway and is disposed at right angles to its normal position between and parallel with the walls of the recess 4:. The doormay then be slid backward into said recess, the rod 6 in this actionsliding through the sleeve 10 while the pin 13 travels in the groove 14,allowing the door to have a free and easy disappearing motion within therecess 4:. Owing to its rounded construction, the yoke 8 has ananti-friction device and facilitates the movement of the door 4, whilethe bearing structure described, which is simple and inexpensive incharacter, enables the door to be swung and slid in an easy andconvenient manner.

I claim A cabinet having a doorway, a groove in its top wall and abearing opening in its bottom wall, in combination with a door having atits upper portion a pin slidably and pivotally engaging said groove andhaving at its base a recess, a rod disposed within said recess, and apin journaled in the opening in the bottom of the cabinet and having aguide sleeve engaging said rod.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
